It's supposed to be "We analyze the words of the prisoner whom we
interrogate." <jav wIyu'bogh> <mu'> <DIpoj>. I figured that <jav>
was in the right place to be the head of the relative clause. Then
I tacked on <mu'(mey)> in a noun-noun construct, but I dropped the
<-mey> to keep the same number of syllables as the English. The
<DI-> prefix on <poj> is supposed to indicate that I'm talking about
<mu'mey>. This is probably totally wrong. Needs some work, like you say.

Perhaps I will keep in mind when my Klingon is good enough to write
a song, but I shall have to shelf that idea for now.
